Foreign Customs Duties

The President yesterday transmitted to
the House of Representatives letter from
the Secretary Of State inclosing mass of
statements from consular officers of the
customs duties levied by foreign nations
upon the produce and manufactures OF ti @
United States. In his letter of transmittal
Secretary Bayard says:
In framing this inquiry. only such articles
were included as are exported from this coun-
try to foreign markets, the design being To
show what burdens are imposed upon existing
commerce, and TO leave for future inquiry
what hindrnnces or prohibitions are entirely
competition with the products OF other ma
tions: In a future report these tariffs will be
considered in detail and their restriction and
retaliRtOry features pointed out.
Upon the importance of this subject at the
present time j need hardly dwell. The de-
mand for new markets for American products
has become almost imperative, and these mar.
Rets must be sought among those nations
which, from fiscal or protective necessity, from
the need of revenue or the desire of fosterin ,
manufacturing industries have imposed du-
ties upon articles of foreign growth or pro1uc.
ton which are most onerous and oppressive,
not only TO the consumer, but to the American
exporter. A comparison between the tariff.
herewith presented and that of the United
States may point out in what lines an ex port
by u judiciOus remOdeling of our own tariff.
In conclusion, ] would call your attention "a
the fact that no nation, claiming to be civil.
lied, imposes duties upon works of art at all
commensurate with those levied under the
t8ril of the United States.

English Political Parties.

The main result OF changes going on IN
utter collapse of liberal unionism. Itserved
for time as Il city of refuge for the dis
satisfied OF all parties, but very short
residence In this modern cave OF Adullam
showed that the malcontents were less
pleased with each other than with the prin-
ciples of their traditional policies. Mr..
Goschen, as head of the tory treasury, is in
the exact position that suits his temperl-
ment and qualifications. He has always
teen as much opposed TO popular govern
ment as Robert Lowe, who broke up the
liberal party in 1866 by a speech which was
based on prediction that lowering the
franchise In Great Britain was the signal
for a disruption of the empire.
A sweeping reduction was made never
theless In the voting power, and the empire
is not yet disrupted. BY quite jovlal
manifestation of the irony of events 1t has
transpired that two and q half millions OF
agricultural laborcrs who received the
power to vote from Mr.. Gladstone made
use Of that power In the interests of Lord
Salisbury and Lord Churchill. Notwlth-
standing this show of conservatism, instead
OF the fierce revolutionary spirit which was
expected, Mr., Goschen, like llomer's old
man, continues to believe that "the rule OF
many is not good" and has accordingly
left the liberal party to take his place among
the men of light and leading whom wise
deity sent into time and space for the ex-
press purpose OF managing the affairs of
''the masSesh
Mr.. Chamberlain, who, as a sbillful poll.
tician, is more than the equal OF Mr..
Goschen, has made oyertures to Mr.. Glad
stone, and will probably take his proper
place as the radical leader of radical party.
This will afford complete Offset TO the
detection of Mr.. Goschen, the late whlg
statesman.
Lord Randolph Churchill is again tory
free lance, now coquetting with the Irish
party, again directinga primrose league,
and anon hunting up Dlsrael's old friend,
"the conservative workingman."
The Marquis Of Harrington is In the post
tion OF liberal free lance, thereby practI-
cally nulifyng the influence OF Churchill.
In pinety.nino political measures that may
arise in parliament Harrington Is In sym.
pathy with Gladstone's probable action, but
in the hundredth-whlch, In this instance,
is home rule-he Is so bitterly opposed TO
bis old leader that II there were only an al
Tentative he would certainly join Salisbury's
camp and support coercion. Fortunately,
there always remains an opening for "the

The terrible accidents occurring within
tweuty-four hours, on two different lines
Of railroad, by which trains have been
Transformed into cremating machines for
living bodies, call public attention to the
necessity of railroad cars being made OF
other material than kindling wood. The
car stove also comes in for its fair share OF
criticism. The New York Times states the
case clearly, aud suggests rational means
for arriving at some remedial measures.
There can be devised, says that paper, no
heating apparatus more dangerous
than a box tull of glowing Goals
which shock may scatter upon splintered
wood that has been saturated with oil and
covered with varnish. Surely something
safer can be invented. II the great railroad
companies were really anxious to fiud and
use better method Of heating, inventors
would probably discover one. To say that
safe method cannot be devised is to as
sumo that the limits of inventive genius
have been reached. Sufficient stimulus In
the shape of the reward that general de-
mand from the companies for a harmless
apparatus would hold out would probably
cause solution Of the problem.

THE interstate bill is under discussion in
the Senate. We predict the more it is de-
bated the more 1t will become apparent that
the original Senate bill was better by far
than the present conglomeraton Of House,
Senate, and conference. Senator Cullom,
who has the bill In charge. would have done
tie country service by refusing to concur
in the action of the conference committee.
There need be no haste, as there will un-
doubtedly be an extra session Of Congress.
Then there will be ample time to perfect
such bill as will meet the approval of the
great trade centers of this country. When
a commercial body representing the bust
ness interests of an important city like
Cincinnati pass resolutions in opposition to
the measure the Senate and the House may
well ponder and doubt the advisablity of
the bill and give their opinions full weight.

To lie Continued.

The Canadian government still persists in
its determination to have its own way con-
cerning our fishing interests, notwlthstand.
ing the severe word-whipping given to 1t
by Secretary Bayard, and the energetic
efforts OF Consul General Phelan to pro-
tect the interests Of our fishermen. 1t cap
tures, condemns, and sells at public
auction our fishing boats, our govern
ment protests IN the promptest and
strongest peaceful manner possible, aud in
few days the Canuck cousins capture,
condemn, and sell another boat, and thus
the irritation increases while her maiesty's
government In London is either amused at
the pickle we are In, or is powerless to
bride the mad antics OF its Canadian
ward. The question is gradually narrow
ing itself down to "who shall do the
spanking, the mother or the cousin ,"
The cousin does not want to do II and the
mother dare not. There is the rub. Coax
ing has proven useless threatening seems
to increase the spunk, and more
rigorous measures might prove injurious to
the health Of the child. Our government
has certainly treated the vexed question
with acknowledged fairness and consist
ency. The published correspondence upon
the subject proves with what dignity aud
energy the State Department has con.
Quoted Its part in the controversy, and yet
the American fishing smacks are still cap
tured, condemned, and sold, and to add
still more vigor to the injustice already
done, our Canadian cousins are contem-
plating using even more stringent meas
ures than ever before in their effort to
catch all the fish. They will probably want
our fish commission itself after while
Certainly it will not be surprising to find
them using our captured schooners as
cruisers against other Of our smacks which
may happen too near to their fishing
grounds. II this state Of affairs continues
much longer the administration will prob
ably drop something that the Canadian
government will hesitate to pick up.

A long and exhaustive special report By
Commissioner Thomas c. Reynolds on the
condition and commerce Of Nicaragua,
Honduras, and Salvador, was transmitted to
Congress by the President, as an addition
to the final report of the South American
commission transmitted to Congress in
January last, The report treats with great
ment, domestic and foreign trade, and
agricultural resources of the countries
mentioned. The subject of railroads in
Salvador is not touched upon by the com.
missioner, except to note that through her
territory lies the most practicable route for
connecting the railway system of the United
States and Mexico with the Isthmus OF
